Damage Quantification Monitoring of CFRP Structures Cross-Area Based on Transfer Learning
Given the widespread application of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) structures in aerospace and automotive manufacturing, the critical role of structural health monitoring (SHM) is increasingly evident. Traditional damage quantification methods exhibit poor transferability...

LRS1 phosphorylated in response to blue light regulates stomatal opening
Abstract Blue light receptor phototropin is a protein kinase that initiates various blue light signaling pathways, including the phosphorylation and activation of plasma membrane (PM) H + -ATPase for stomatal opening. Activation of PM H + -ATPase drives K + uptake via K + in chan...

Morrison’s China: The Collected Journalism and ‘Reminiscences’ of George Morrison
George Ernest Morrison had a full and fascinating life. That included a spell – from 1897 to 1912 – as The Times’ Peking correspondent. This volume collects some of his newspaper dispatches from th...

A machine learning framework for classifying inter-turn short-circuit faults in induction motors
Inter-turn short-circuit (ITSC) faults are among the most frequent stator winding faults in induction motors, often leading to irreversible damage. In this context, this work proposes a Machine Learning (ML) based framework for classifying ITSC faults using experimental stator cu...

From Discrete to Dense: Explorations in the Moduli Space of Triangles
SummaryThe moduli space of triangles is a two-dimensional space that records triangle shapes in the plane, considered up to similarity. We study the subset corresponding to lattice triangles, which are triangles whose vertices have integer coordinates. We prove that this subset i...

Abstract The goal of this study was to prepare sulfated alumina aerogels and investigate their textural properties, morphology, acidity, and catalytic activity in ethanol dehydration and esterification of decanoic acid with methanol. Alumina aerogels were synthesized by hydrolysi...

A substantial number of patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) undergo nephrectomy. A decrease in intra-abdominal pressure after nephrectomy might hypothetically accelerate the growth of other polycystic organs and accelerate the rate of eGFR decline o...

India’s ‘Hormuz Manoeuvre’: The Nīti-Śāstra of the New Table
The safe transit of Indian energy assets through the Strait of Hormuz represents a definitive validation of India’s evolved doctrine of strategic autonomy. Moving beyond the tactical analysis of India’s ‘Hormuz Manoeuvre’, Manish Tayal establishes a foundational Nīti-Śāstra (guid...

Thermoforesis from Generalized Caldeira-Leggett Models
Abstract The standard Caldeira-Leggett model addresses the problem of Brownian motion in a thermal equilibrium environment. Here, we look for generalizations of the Caldeira-Leggett model to account for thermal gradients in the environment. We devise two types of models, and disc...

Abstract This article argues that, during the Second World War, Irish neutrality was constantly debated in gendered terms. For its proponents, neutrality was situated within a nationalist tradition which spoke a markedly masculine language and thus supplied a useful justification...

Abstract We investigate the impact of phenomenological prescriptions in the Collins–Soper–Sterman (CSS) approach for global extractions of Transverse Momentum Distributions (TMDs). We show that fits to low-energy Drell–Yan data with different choices of $$b_*$$ <mml:math xmlns:mm...
